Manufacturing/Engineering - York, North Yorkshire and East Riding, Transitional (SSW/SSR)

Tender description

Calderdale College currently delivers the Skills Support for the Workforce and Redundancy Support as a Lead Provider in the Transitional Area (TA) of the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding region. The TA covers the Local Authority district of East Riding of Yorkshire Council only. The TA does not cover the Local Authority districts of City of York, Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough and Selby. We are inviting training organisations within the Manufacturing/Engineering sectors to submit applications to become part of the supply chain for this programme and in particular Performing Manufacturing Operations and Performing Engineering Operations. The aim of the services is to provide basic employability skills through to higher level skills and be responsive to the current and future workforce needs within the TA and across the priority sectors of the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding LEP. The Services should be focussed on supporting participants employed by an eligible Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) that are based in the TA. Services should provide a responsive skills programme that is tailored to the needs of the YNYER LEP area in order to stimulate a growth in the skills base for businesses that will give the best opportunity to grow the economy, close the productivity gap and address skills gaps and shortages. Resources are being used in this programme priority for people in the workforce and those who have been made redundant within the last three months who lack basic skills or qualifications needed for their career progression.
